So if you upgrade.....

Today? I'd take the Incredible 2 for the following reasons;

-Verizon is the only carrier I care to use at the moment as they offer me the best combination of coverage/value (grandfathered $10 unlimited smartphone data plan FTW)

-The Incredible 2 offers a larger and brighter screen, 50% more RAM, more usable internal storage for /data/data (low on space notification), MUCH more battery efficient CPU/GPU, 50-75% faster GPU, and still has the form factor that I desire. Contrary to some opinions, the CPU in the Incredible 2 isn't faster than the one in the Incredible, it's just made on a smaller die process which gives it better battery life and less heat.

-The upgraded Sense elements are damn nice.
 
between the dinc 2 and Thunderbolt, I'm leaning toward the inc2 also. I didn't see the 50% more ram though, thought it just had 8 gigs just like the inc 1. It also has the front facing camera too, which would be nice.
 
Also, the Thunderbolt is charging for a 4G data package, and we dont have 4G here yet, so thats just useless and would only serve to drain battery life, IMHO>

You're confusing internal storage and RAM. The Incredible has 512MB of RAM whereas the Incredible 2 has 768MB.

As for internal storage, the Incredible 2 has just a hair over 1GB, while the Incredible has 748MB, plus a 6.6GB EMMC partition that acts sort of like an SD card, but can't have apps moved to it. It's largely useless. So, I prefer the Incredible 2's larger internal block of storage, which helps get around the low on space notification.
